Make your call now. Does Starship survive and float again, or do we get fireworks?

I say it lays over gentle and floats.

Hopefully our future WhatsApp phone calls will continue to be as good sound quality as the last one was.


Most cruise ships use starlink now, it works great. I've been able to do facetime calls and zoom/teams meetings.

It is not really meant to... more of a hope.

Seems to be holding up really well coming from orbital. This is much more stressful on the vehicle than suborbital reentry.

Not sure they want it to lay over & float again... maybe they'll use the FTS to ensure it explodes this time

Interesting... they delayed launch so that... in case this exact scenario happened (which it did)... Starship would land in sunlight instead of darkness

Will it float again?

If it does, this one can make it home before last one does.

They're gonna catch this thing on 15 if they can get one of the other pads ready to go in case something devastating happens on the pad with the catch.
